13 September 2013

Liked: The staff was mostly helpfull and the hostel is central. Also the guests were very friendly and nice

Disliked: the kitchen is very dirty althought the owners family cooked there itself every day. And the dirt is very old... Also there is every time a woman of the staff, who is sleeping in the commonroom. Also its very loud and dirty.

Customer review

Disliked: Wsn't equipped to handle the number of people they had - was overcrowded. Had to shower over a toilet. No fan / ac. No safety deposit boxes, just some lockers in the room. No character and the staff there were very unhelpful (i asked for some washing powder and the guy told me that he didn't have any despite the washing machine running all the time).

Liked: Absolutely nothing

Disliked: What can I say about this Hostel? NOT MUCH, because when we got there and paid for the rooms, they told us that they had "overbooked" and sent us to other "Hostel".
Result? We ended up sleeping in an almost abandoned apartment, in the floor, (along with more than 30 people) with no kitchen, 1 bathroom for 30 people, and NO SECURITY AT ALL..
Besides, of course that there was no A/C or fan, the owner of that place was totally rude and was apparently building something while we were trying to sleep there.

Liked: It is very centrally located, close to many attractions and places of interest.

Disliked: Staff were abrupt at times and came across as petty. At times I felt awkward asking for advice or items because of the reaction I may get. Also pricing for rooms seemed inconsistent - just turning up people were charged significantly more.

Liked: The staff are very friendly and helpful. I got a lesson in the cyrillic alphabet and Bulgarian history from the manager. The location is right on the main shopping streets but not too close to any clubs so still quiet at night time. They have a well stocked kitchen with a real oven and everything! The showers are always hot.

Disliked: The decor is not very modern (not that it matters at all)

Liked: The hostel has a quiet, mellow, homely atmosphere in which it's easy to chat with other guests, read, cook, play board games, etc. I like the murals painted on the walls here. The staff has really done a good job converting an old apartment into a very pleasant place to stay. Like many hostels, there are some people who come and go for brief periods of time while there are other people who stay long-term. But there are few hostels where people really feel comfortable enough to want to stay long-term. I met an Englishman here who came to Bulgaria to visit his girlfriend. He stayed for a month and plans to stay here on his return. He gave a new coat he had bought in England to the manager, telling him to pass it on to another guest. The Englishman realized that Bulgaria wasn't as cold as he thought it would be and that he therefore had no need of the coat. I must not be as tough as the Englishman because Bulgaria seemed cold enough to me to warrant accepting the coat from Michael. This says a lot about how pleasant the place is. The hostel feels akin to a community.

Disliked: Stephen left no negative feedback.

Liked: The Location was the only good bit

Disliked: Was not given a key to the room, and only had tiny lockers in the rooms, but not enough for each person. Did not feel safe leaving my things there when I went out during the day.
The bathrooms were not cleaned regularly or particularly well.
The internet was passable at best, kept disconnecting every couple of minutes.
